  • Aris had reportedly reached an agreement with Bastia for Ivorian winger Alexandar Zouaï, who had been expected in Thessaloniki.
  • French website Corse Matin reported that Zouaï may remain at Bastia for now.
  • If the report is confirmed, Aris may need another option for the left side of its attack, while its non-EU player limit could also affect any new signing.

Alexandar Zouaï’s transfer to Aris had appeared nearly complete, especially after people at the Greek club confirmed an agreement with Bastia. The young Ivorian winger was even expected to arrive in Thessaloniki over the previous weekend, but that did not happen.

Now a report from France has changed the picture. Corse Matin says Zouaï will remain at Bastia, despite the persistent rumors linking him with a move to Aris. The report describes his continued stay as welcome news for Bastia coach Laurent Peyrelade, who can keep counting on the midfielder’s talent for now.

If the information is confirmed, Aris will have to consider other options to strengthen the left side of its attack. The club also faces a squad-registration issue involving non-EU players.

Aris currently has eight non-EU footballers in its squad. To add another player without an EU passport, the club would first need to free a place.
